The EUT contains a module that operates in the following frequency bands: 2412MHz to 2462MHz (802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n-HT20 modes), 2422MHz to 2452MHz (802.11n-HT40 mode), and 5180MHz to 5240MHz, 5745MHz to 5825MHz (802.11a, 802.11n (20MHz, 40MHz), and 11ac (80MHz) modes). The models 65S421, 65S4, 65S423, 65S427, 65S425-MX, 65S427-MX, 65S425-CA, 65S427-CA, and 65S4 variants are hardware-identical to the 65S425 model, differing only in packaging and marketing.
1.2 Related Submittal(s) Grants
This application is for certification of a computer peripheral. Other digital functions were reported in verification report 180518007SZN-002. The host device includes a Wi-Fi module granted under FCC ID: 2AC23-WC0HR2601.
EXHIBIT 2: SYSTEM TEST CONFIGURATION
2.1 Justification
The system was configured for testing in a typical user fashion, adhering to ANSI C63.4 (2014). The EUT was powered by AC 120V/60Hz. The Wi-Fi module was active during testing. Emissions were maximized by rotating the EUT 360°, varying antenna height from 1 to 4 meters, and adjusting antenna polarization. The rear of the unit was positioned flush with the table. Testing covered the frequency range from 30MHz to 29.125GHz, with detected emissions being at least 20 dB below applicable limits.

EXHIBIT 3: EMISSION RESULTS
Data includes worst-case configurations, sample calculations, configuration photographs, and emission data tables.
3.1 Field Strength Calculation
Field strength is calculated by adding the spectrum analyzer reading to factors for preamplifiers, antennas, cables, pulse desensitization, and average factors. The formula is FS = RA + AF + CF – AG, where FS is Field Strength (dBuV/m), RA is Receiver Amplitude (dBuV), AF is Antenna Factor (dB/m), CF is Cable Attenuation Factor (dB), and AG is Amplifier Gain (dB).
3.2 Field Strength Calculation (cont'd)
Example calculation: Given a receiver reading (RA) of 62.0 dBuV, antenna factor (AF) of 7.4 dB/m, cable factor (CF) of 1.6 dB, and amplifier gain (AG) of 29.0 dB, the field strength (FS) is calculated as 62 + 7.4 + 1.6 – 29 = 42 dBuV/m. This is converted to 125.9 uV/m.

EXHIBIT 8: MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
This section includes emission measuring procedures.
8.1 Emissions Test Procedures
The test procedures used by Intertek Testing Services for measurements of computer peripherals under FCC Part 15, Subpart B rules are described. The test setup and procedures meet ANSI C63.4 – 2014 requirements. The EUT is placed on a turntable (4 feet diameter, 0.8m height). Radiated emissions testing involves rotating the turntable and manipulating cables to find maximum emissions, varying antenna height (1-4m) and polarization. Detector functions are QP for 30MHz-1GHz (120kHz RBW) and PK/AV for 1GHz-29.125GHz (1MHz RBW). Conducted emissions use QP/AV (9kHz IFBW) from 150kHz-30MHz. Radiated emission scan range is 30MHz-29.125GHz. Conducted emission scan range is 150kHz-30MHz.
8.2 Emissions Test Procedures (cont'd)
The EUT is warmed up for 15 minutes prior to testing. Conducted measurements follow ANSI C63.4 – 2014.
